Gottfried Kneller (Kniller)
Gottfried Kneller (Kniller) is a Baroque artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Brukenthal National Museum.
Gottfried Kneller had a habit of making people look more interesting than they probably were. He painted a stranger once and you wouldn’t forget the face, dark curls, a confident tilt, clothes that said “I have money to burn.” That’s why we keep a Kneller around: to remind us how a single portrait can feel like a whole life was stuffed into one frame.
Tap his Portrait of an Unknown Man and see if you can guess what he did for a living.
